What conclusions are safe to be drawn from the Broncos' 10-6 victory over San Francisco? Did Denver find players it can count on for the long haul to the Super Bowl?
If you ask me, tight end Julius Thomas finally began converting his obvious athletic gifts into something that resembled a mature football player. Stumbling out of the break on a pass route, Thomas recovered nicely to grab a pass from Brock Osweiler before gracefully getting both feet in bounds for an 11-yard catch that showed the composure required in the NFL, when the play doesn't always unfold as drawn up in team meetings.
Running back C.J. Anderson might not remind anyone of Terrell Davis, but his ability to gain yards after contact makes you wonder if the Broncos really need to keep both Jacob Hester and Lance Ball as back-ups, according to Oren Lomena, a co-host on The Press Box. But Brock Osweiler? If you ask Peter Burns of Mile High Sports Radio, the young quarterback is still a wasted draft pick. Ouch.
